Comments on: THE VOTE Are refs scared to award penalties to visiting teams at Old Trafford? Or does Jose Mourinho need big glasses?

I’m not just talking about penalties. Man U got more penalties this year because Ronaldo wasn’t yet a recognised diver before it, while Drogba and Robben were. I’m pretty sure Chelsea got a lot more pens last year, and they still get a lot of dodgy decisions in their favour.

The top teams definitely get an edge in the PK department. The thing Jose really could rant about is how many points United have racked up (just against Middlesbrough) as a result of the PLAYER OF THE YEAR taking a dive. Still they had their future in their hands this past weekend and they let it slip away. Nobody but themselves to blame.

It’s just at bad at Stamford Bridge as it is at Old Trafford. Pots & Kettles really…

HA! Try getting a penalty when you’re Blackburn Rovers or Everton.
Life’s not fair is it, Jose?
